The Abyss was like an organization, and all Abyssal creatures were its members.
An organization needed not only a proper promotion system and reward system, but also a corresponding punishment system to discipline those who refused to follow the rules.
Among these methods of punishment, First-level Punishment was the harshest.
And the form this punishment took was enslavement.
As Richard made his decision, a sense of foreboding immediately flashed through the newly lucid Beelzebub's heart.
He suddenly discovered that his control over Abyss Power had vanished.
But how was that possible?
Even if Richard possessed supreme authority, he absolutely could not strip him of the right to wield Abyss Power.

That was absolutely impossible.
But Beelzebub soon learned what he had encountered.
"Damn it, this is Abyss Punishment!"
Beelzebub's expression instantly turned incomparably terrified. To Abyssal creatures, the Abyss was their mother. A mother gave her children selfless love, but she also used her palm to teach disobedient children a lesson.
